Position Summary

We are seeking a proactive, highly discreet, and culturally aware Recruiter to specialize in sourcing and placing exceptional Executive Assistants to CEOs, founders, and principals within private family offices and the creative industries (music, film, art, and design). This role requires proven experience in identifying, engaging, and qualifying top-tier business support talent who can thrive in demanding, fast-paced, and often confidential environments.

You will be responsible for building robust long lists, conducting detailed screening interviews, and ensuring candidates meet both the professional caliber and the personal fit required by our clients.

Our clients include family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and leading figures in music, film, and the arts. We pride ourselves on a discreet, relationship-driven approach, where quality of match and cultural alignment matter as much as technical skill. We are now expanding our delivery team to support a growing pipeline of assignments with some of the most influential and creative clients in the market.

• Administration & Reporting: Use our own database and LI Recruiter Lite to identify candidates swiftly and engage them. Maintain accurate records in the ATS/CRM, preparing weekly sourcing and pipeline reports.
